"A popular Mexican anecdote, perhaps it
might be called Mexican chestnut, was once
told me by the proprietor of tfonda'-that is q

Responsibility of Sleeping Car Companies
1t seems have been fairly settled by the
courts that sleeping car companies are RESPONSE
bic for the protection of the property and per-
sons of passengers whom they carry, provided
that the property is not in excess of what pas
sengers may ordinarily and legitimately have
with them when they journey, and provided the
company cannot show that the negligence of the
passenger is contributery to the loss. Or, at
least, this is about the sum of the decisions of
the Supreme Court Of Massachusetts upon a
group of sleeping-car cases. These things are
of interest to the public, since any person may
ind himself in the position of the passengers who
were robbed and would naturally like to know
what MS rights are. Two passengers on a sleep
ing car between Boston ana Chicago were robbed
while they slept. In this the court holds that
the company was responsible. The passengers
had taken their berths for the purpose of sleep
ing. and had right to depend upon the compa-
ny for such ordinary protection as would make
their property safe in the circumstances This
Protection it is evident the company did not sup
ply, and for that default it must pay. Another
passenger left the for lunch. and left in the
car her satchel with 5000 in it, which was stolen.
In this case it is held that the negligence of the
passenger was the fact mainly productive of the
evil, and the court reasons that no vigilance on
the part of companies compensate for the
gross carelessEess Of passengers, wherefore the
lady must stand the loss. In these cases the law
is the height of good sense

Officers and Members Of the Cher

GESTLEMEN:-ln reply to the in
terrogatory of George Davis, your
treasurer, asking information, and
my opinion as TO .the advisability
of Cherokee Indian Citizenshi p
claimants, in the Territory. making
application and submitting their
claims for trial and decision to
the Cherokee Indian Commission,
created by an act of the Cherokee
National Council at the last ses-
sion. As the law counsel and So
licitor of your organization, and, as
the attorney and representative OF

it is proper, and a duty devolving

tice TO all effected, seems TO re-
quire. The act of the Natl onal
council creating this commission,
for the investigation and trial of a
class of citizenship claims, known

prompted from the decision of the
supreme court ofthe United States,

by a treaty with the nation, Dec.
29th, 1885. at New Echota, Geor-
gia, the other is from the sale OF
lands, Of the Nation, west of the
Mississippi river.
The court denies the application
of the Eastern Cherokees TO a pro-
